Frequently Asked Questions

Who can take an intro class?

👉Anyone and everyone. This class is built for beginners — no experience needed, no fitness level required. Over 95% of people who take the intro class have never boxed before 👨‍🎓. If you're nervous, you're in the right place 💪.

When are the intro classes?

🗓️ We run multiple intro classes each week across all locations. You’ll see available times when you click to book. Heads up: spots fill fast, so don’t sleep on it ⏳.

Do I need to have gloves for the intro class?

🧤 Nope! We’ve got you. We provide complimentary gloves and wraps for your first class — just show up ready to move.

What should I wear?

👞 Athletic gear + trainers is all you need. Keep it simple — think gym clothes, not runway. You’re here to sweat, not impress.

How intense is the class?

🔥 It’s as intense as you want it to be. Our coaches are pros at guiding complete beginners — they’ll make sure you feel supported and in control the whole way through. You’ll work hard, but you’ll leave smiling 😅💯.

Is this like fighting?

🚫 Nope. No contact. No sparring. You’ll be hitting heavy bags, not people. This is all about fitness, not fighting.

How long is the class?

⏰ Around 45–60 minutes. Long enough to feel the burn, short enough to fit your day.

Can I bring a friend?

👭 Absolutely. Grab a buddy and come throw some punches together. It’s more fun (and less scary) with a friend.

What happens after the intro class?

✅ If you loved it (most people do), you can join our 2-week beginner course or jump into our regular classes. No pressure, just options.
